PANAMA CITY -- The Bay County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance to identify three suspects involved in a grand theft case at the Dollar General Store at 2323 E. 15th St. in Panama City.

On Oct. 28, deputies responded to the store after receiving a 911 call in reference to the theft at about 6:20 p.m. and made contact with a store employee. The employee stated two women had shopped in the store and come to the checkout counter.

As the employee rang up the items, a man entered the store and spoke to the two women, telling them he was going to take the items out to the car while they paid. Then one of the women swiped a credit card to make the purchase but the card was declined. The employee asked for the card but the women refused.

As this was happening one of the women slipped out the front door. After refusing to give her card to the employee, the second woman ran out the front door without paying for the items, valued at over $300.

The store employee said their vehicle could have been a ‘92 to ‘99 white Suburban.

A description of the suspects follow: One woman is described as 5’2”, 25 to 30 years of age, with blondish brown hair and wearing pink and purple sunglasses. She was wearing a red, white, and blue striped shirt and blue jeans. The other woman was slightly taller with brown hair, and wore a black and white shirt and blue jeans. The male suspect was about 6’ tall with short or shaved brown hair and wore a black shirt and blue grey pants. The incident was captured on store security video.
